A Nosey Neighbor

Doubt.  He’s a nosey neighbor. An obnoxious guest.

The first seeds of doubt were sown in the Garden of Eden in the heart of Eve.  There she sat, enjoying the trees, when she noticed a pair of beady eyes peering over the shrubs. He positioned himself between Eve and the sun and cast his first shadow of a doubt.

“Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?” (Genesis 3:1).  No anger.  No picket signs.  Just questions. Had any visits from this nosey neighbor lately? If you find yourself doubting God could forgive you again for that, you’ve been sold some snake oil.

I suggest you put a lock on your gate. Draw near to your heavenly father and that old devil will tuck his tail between his legs and scamper out of the garden.
